Reveals acoustic version of Silver Scroll-winning
song If I Move To Mars
Today (Fri,
21st October) Thomas
Oliver reveals a raw acoustic rendition of his song If I Move To Mars.
Thomas appears in an accompanying video created by Terry Longley, armed with
only an acoustic guitar and his sweet, soulful voice to recreate this
well-loved song to its stripped-back original form.
“This song existed as a live solo acoustic song on quite a few stages around
the world before it was an RnB-infused production on the airwaves, so it feels
like going back and letting more people in on what it was when it was first
born,” says Oliver of the arrangement.
If I Move To Mars was the
first burst of new material released by the Wellington-based singer-songwriter
and Weissenborn player in October last year. Thomas was recently awarded the
APRA AMCOS Silver Scroll award for the song at the 2016 ceremony, held last
month at Auckland’s Vector Arena.
Rewatch the official music video directed and produced by Ben Hawkins and
Stephen Lambert of Weta Workshop, which sees Thomas drift through space in a
specially-designed spacesuit.
Thomas is currently
spending time in Los Angeles, before moving onto Nashville at this end of this
month for more co-writing sessions.
Thomas reflects on his time so far: “I've been spending time hanging out at the
Folk Music Centre, the Harper family music store in Claremont. I'm so deeply
influenced by Ben Harper and his story that the store feels very familiar, like
I have been there many times before. It is a true honour to have been invited
to come and spend time with their family here in LA, and it's a part of my own
story that I'll never forget.”
